And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.
Y ella dijo: 'Aquí está mi sierva Bilha—acuéstate con ella, y dará a luz sobre mis rodillas, para que yo también pueda tener hijos por medio de ella.'
Raquel ofreció a su sierva Bilha a Jacob para tener hijos a través de ella.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This was a common ancient Near Eastern practice where barren wives would give their female servants to their husbands to bear children on their behalf. The phrase 'bear upon my knees' refers to a birthing custom where the legal mother would hold the birth mother during delivery, symbolically claiming the child as her own. This practice was legally and socially accepted in that culture as a solution to childlessness.
